[01:30] <pleia2> I'll add stats and security stuff in the morning
[01:52]  * nlsthzn is in the final stretch of night shift # 3... mind has vacated the premises
[01:53] <pleia2> hehe :)
[01:53] <pleia2> good luck on the final stretch!
[01:53] <pleia2> I used to work the night shift, but I was younger and didn't like sleep as much
[02:39] <nlsthzn> :) well, I am not working night shifts because I like it (which sucks)... but second last one for this cycle is now done... time to go home and catch some epic Zzzzzs....
[02:39] <nlsthzn> cheers all
[07:55] <dholbach> good morning
[17:46] <pleia2> stats are in, if anyone wants to do editorial review: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue255

[17:47] <pleia2> I'll publish in 7 hours
[17:47] <nlsthzn-work> pleia2: cool ... will have a look see as time permits

[21:39] <MrChrisDruif> I'm fine, you?
[21:40] <Silverlion> Tired as hell... customers care for foreign people (dutch in my case) is very exhausting
[22:16] <pleia2> The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue255
[22:17] <Silverlion> pleia2 u are doin' a hell of a job in this team ... just so you know
[22:17] <nlsthzn-work> awesome, congrats to all... now on to the next one
[22:17] <pleia2> Silverlion: thanks
[22:17] <pleia2> and thanks everyone :)
[22:21] <MrChrisDruif> Credits due where credits due: both akgraner and pleia2 have busted their asses off last year or so to keep UWN afloat!!
[22:21] <Silverlion> that is why ;)
[22:21] <Silverlion> maybe we should get akgraner do an interview ;)
[22:45] <bkerensa> akgraner should be interviewed... she is always interviewing everyone else ;p
[23:21] <Silverlion> ;)
[23:21] <Silverlion> bkerensa feel free ^^
[23:22] <bkerensa> Silverlion: oh no... I'm too busy :P as things stand I had to cancel a trip to seattle since release party is next month and conflicts :(
[23:26]  * Silverlion is off now to get some rest
[23:26] <Silverlion> luckily my schedule tells me to have two days off duty :D
[23:27] <Unit193> Howdy, Froyo.
[23:27] <nlsthzn-work> It's a trap!
[23:27] <IWantFroyo> Hello there.
[23:27] <IWantFroyo> -.-
[23:27] <IWantFroyo> Anyways, I've been thinking of joining the group.
[23:28] <IWantFroyo> Anyone willing to provide a link to some information?
[23:28] <pleia2> IWantFroyo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam has details for all the stuff we work on
[23:28]  * Silverlion would do so but needs to head for the bed
[23:29] <pleia2> and welcome :)
[23:29] <IWantFroyo> Thank you. Heading over.
[23:30] <nlsthzn-work> pleia2: how can new peeps be added to your weekly call to arms?
[23:30] <pleia2> nlsthzn-work: details here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Join
[23:30] <pleia2> they can email editor.ubuntu.news@ubuntu.com to request to be added
[23:31] <nlsthzn-work> oh sorry... should have gone and checked it myself I guess... (just something about wiki's that I don't like) :p
[23:33] <IWantFroyo> Do I need to email editor.ubuntu.news@ubuntu.com for an editor position? Or is that just for the publishers and writers?
[23:33] <shever> hi all...nlsthzn-work suggested that I pop over here and basically just rip off exactly what IWantFroyo has said :)
[23:33] <pleia2> IWantFroyo: to be an editor you just hang out here and when the newsletter is ready we ask people in channel to review the newsletter :)
[23:34] <pleia2> usually happens on Monday
[23:34] <shever> so, if you need a second pedantic proofreader, then I'm happy to add my name to the list. On UF my nick is "lechien73", but for some reason XChat chose my secondary nick when I logged on!
[23:34] <pleia2> welcome shever
[23:35] <nlsthzn-work> with many eyes all grammer mistakes are shallow...
[23:35] <pleia2> nlsthzn-work: grammar ;)
[23:35] <shever> pleia2 - beat me to it :P
[23:35] <nlsthzn-work> lol
[23:35] <nlsthzn-work> glad I hadn't said anything about spellinh
[23:35] <nlsthzn-work> >.<
[23:35] <IWantFroyo> ...
[23:35] <nlsthzn-work> *spelling
[23:36] <pleia2> we only send emails out for summary writing, since those take a couple of days to write
[23:36] <pleia2> editing usually happens in a window of just a few hours, so IRC works better than email
[23:37] <IWantFroyo> Anyways, I joined the mailing list and the launchpad group. It'll be a pleasure to work with you chaps. My UF account, so we can get to know each other better:http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1212450.
[23:37] <IWantFroyo> Do they note the times for working sessions in emails?
[23:37] <pleia2> I'm not a chap, but thanks for coming to help out :)
[23:37] <pleia2> IWantFroyo: the email includes a link to a document, it's done when all the summaries are completed
[23:37] <pleia2> so there isn't really a time
[23:38] <pleia2> it starts when the email is sent, ends when all the summaries have been written
[23:38] <IWantFroyo> Okay.
[23:38] <IWantFroyo> Well, I got to go right now, but I'll be back and at it after the next email.
[23:38] <IWantFroyo> Good night!
[23:39] <nlsthzn-work> bai IWantFroyo
[23:39] <pleia2> hm, they haven't sent an email to get added to the list :\
[23:40] <nlsthzn-work> lol... perhaps in time...
[23:40] <shever> I've just requested to join the launchpad group (Matt Rudge is the real name)
[23:40] <pleia2> yeah, I'll ask them the next time they join
[23:40] <pleia2> shever: thanks, we need to sort out the launchpad groups soon (we don't use them right now, lots of pending people)
[23:40] <shever> could you let me know how to join the mailing list, please? I think I joined a little late in the conversation for that.
[23:41] <pleia2> shever: the news team does several things, you can learn about them here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam
[23:41] <shever> pleia2: great, thanks :)
[23:41] <pleia2> link to the mailing list is there :)
[23:41] <pleia2> the list I was talking about is different - a list of individuals we email each week when we're ready to get article summaries written
[23:42] <pleia2> specifically for Ubuntu Weekly News (one of the three things the news team works on)
[23:43] <shever> ok...I recently was approved for membership based on forums contributions, and want to help out more
[23:44] <pleia2> great :)
[23:44] <shever> since I mentioned to bodhi_zazen that my particular..."interests" :) were coding and proofreading, I was pointed to here as a starting point
[23:46] <shever> I've proofread technical manuals, and also the "ZX Spectrum Book" by Andrew Rollings, so if you want an irritatingly pedantic old git to look over anything then, I'm ashamed to say, I could well be your man!
[23:46] <pleia2> well, as I said we do proof-reading of the newsletter here on Sunday night - Monday (for this week, I asked for reviews 22 hours ago and then again 6 hour sago)
[23:47] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue255 is the latest issue, we ask for proof-readers to make sure the summaries make sense and don't have any obvious errors
[23:48] <pleia2> (this one is already released, so no more editing needed)
[23:48] <nlsthzn-work> ... because butchers of the english language like nlsthzn hacked on it ... :p
[23:51] <shever> Grand...first glance says that "reoccurring" (under 12.04 Development Update) isn't a word - it should be "recurring" ;)
[23:51] <shever> But I'll pop back on Sunday evenings for proofreading fun :D
[23:51] <Unit193> I'm always the one saying something went wrong the day or so after. :P
[23:52] <pleia2> shever: see, too late for that issue, but I hope to have your help for the next!
[23:52] <pleia2> Unit193 :P
[23:52] <shever> pleia2: no problem...I'll be in and out throughout the week, and back here on Sunday
[23:53] <Unit193> You didn't disagree, but I've actually helped better before. :P
[23:53] <pleia2> great, thank you :)
[23:54] <shever> in the meantime, it's nearly midnight here...which is my cue to go to bed before Ubuntu gets cited in divorce papers ;)
[23:54] <pleia2> hehe, have a good night!
[23:54] <shever> you too :D
